OK I got a set finished yesterday(Sunday) and got another set half done. I need to redrill some hard mounts tomarrow morning so I can remount the bender, but I am hoping to have the other set done today(Monday).
2.8 bird and Mark are getting these.
Whats been going on with me lately?
Monday I get new rotors(driilled and slotted)
Tuesday, I install them. Test drive goes great thing stops on a dime with no signs of trouble.
Wensday going to class, doing 75 on highway and the R/F caliper locks up! No accident and I manage to limp the car home.
Thursday, replace both calipers. Taking the old R/F off and see the calipers' outter edge, and the brake pad is covered in white ash. Signs of an obvious fire! The outter plate has 4 cracks through the plate separted by 90*, and it is now PURPLE!(obviously it got retempered!)
Parts guy asks(when I take back the cores) so which accident did this come from? I say no accident, I know how to drive.
I'm glad to hear nothing bad happened to you or your car majorly! Are you running a set of the headers on your car too? I would have to assume so, but I wasn't sure if you put them on yours or not yet.

No not yet. I did have a set, but I had to give one of the side to My91... Anyway the shop I went to to get the Y pipe made made it wrong anyway so...
But yeah I wish I had one of those movie camara deals hanging off the side of the car so I could have seen the ensueing fireball!... Just gotta love quick reflex... nose dive, yank wheel!.

THE EXHAUST SHOPS AROUND TOWN
HERE ARE CRAP...(they are good for standard
jobs but some creativity is something very far for them)
How long do you think before my pair gets out? I'm going on a road trip to the NC mountains in a couple weeks, and it would be cool to get them on before then. No rush tho,
